So here I am, awake in the middle of the night because I am thinking of what to wear to a wine gala event tonight - The Emerald City. I saw a great 'tin man' retro T at a store the other day but the event is business-formal. I have a real lack of anything green in my wardrobe so my most recent thought is to raid a Red Hat lady's closet (don't know any) or find some cheap red slippers/shoes before tomorrow eve.
The magical shoes, changed from the book's silver slippers to those with an iridescent red hue, were created by Gilbert Adrian, MGM Studios’s chief costume designer, and played a central role in the film. Dorothy obtained them from Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, and kept them from the Wicked Witch of the West in order to get home. Several pairs of slippers were made for the movie, a common practice with important costumes and props; this pair was worn by Garland in dance scenes. The felt on the soles muffled her dancing footsteps on the yellow brick road. http://americanhistory.si.edu/news/factsheet.cfm?key=30&newskey=4
Still haven't determined a car either, it's between a Ford Escape and a Saturn Vue, but I must decide soon cause my Dad would likely appreciate the return of his car.
Back to bed (where it's warm) to stare at the ceiling and mull it over some more.
